Why we need Bots.
Prudence - To commit a GREAT evil to avoid a GREATER one.
-Abe Lincoln (paraphrased, i dont remember what speech so i cant quote it.)
Jagex got rid of most bots, therefore there aren't huge money making bots now for gold sellers to use. They will have to go to the next best thing. They will hire Chinese (or whatever race, my example works best with Chinese because of poor working conditions there.) to sit on their asses all day and collect dragon bones for little to no pay. This is basically SLAVERY, with the poor working conditions! So, by getting rid of bots, jagex is causing gold farmers to revert to slavery to quench their pockets. THIS is why we need Bots that make mass hordes of money nearly flawlessly. Even though it drives prices down, we must accept that evil to avoid the GREATER one, SLAVERY!

There were sweatshops set up way before the bot nuke, anyways.

I read a while ago that some prisoners in some Eastern country were forced to goldfarm by their jailers, who then sold it for themselves. They were actually making more from the goldfarming than their wage. Can't remember where to find source however so take it how you will.

Yeah i saw that bro but I think it was on the game Wow
These gold farmers don't deserve to use bots, unless they are willing to pay.
In my opinion bots are suppose to help people to do boring tasks, if they are being used to make money, then its an unethical use. Imagine in the future all the jobs are taken by bots? would you be happy with that?
/end of seriousness
Personally, I don't care if they use bots to gold farm or not. But if they just leeched a script atleast post proggie, if they don't… they shouldn't deserve it.

No one goldfarms RS without bots, they just go onto WoW or other games that are more profitable to farm.
I know this argument can be broken in like a million different ways i just randomly thought about it after rereading a lincoln handout from school a long time ago and thought id share my thoughts :p

we need bots because the game is a grind and gets repeditive
If any of you have seen the movie "Biutiful" (great movie btw for the intellectual people here) you know what i mean by "poor working conditions". lol

Well would you rather break down your hands by stiching nike shoes for pennies on the dollar or would you rather use logic and probably get rewarded for innovating money making tactics by playing a game all day at the same rate?
would you rather learn a skill that is useful or just know how to play the boring aspects of a game all day with even less pay.

implying that using your intellect for forms of problem solving, and inovation (however small the scale) is a less useful skill than using a sewing machine…:fiery:

so killing a cow and banking the hide is problem solving? doing the next thing your boss tells you is problem solving?

How are you so arrogant that you think the slave like conditions of the majority of the manufacturing sweatshop's would be better for someone than being in an environment that has to be sanitary enough for electronic equipment to thinking of ways that he might be able to make more money with than killing cows for there hides so perhaps his working conditions will improve.
Regardless if they are using their intellect or building problem solving skills, you would be the most ignorant person I have tried to educate by believing that a manufacturing sweatshop could possibly be better than what many on this site refer to as 'legiting'

You do realize that IS the future of everything, right? A monetary system like ours actually PROMOTES an economy that depends on robots to do EVERY possible task. Which is why unemployment is slowly going up as we enter this intense technological age.

I see that dumb asses cant tell a joking thread from a serious thread. You honestly think i seriously thought jagex was causing slavery by this? you must be the dumbest fuck of them all to not see what should be obvious to see.

In your op it didnt seem like you were joking about it. Quazzymodem would be right, if this was actually happening then an environment which was sanitary enough to maintain a computer would be a better working environment for the 'slaves'. But if you think about it, a computer that a worker would use to play runescape would just be so stupid. Think of the costs, a computer, electricity, internet, peripheral devices. Now multiply this by as many workers as you have. It would take longer to pay back for the equipment that you bought then it would to wait for a new method of botting. And there are other games such as wow that are more profitable. If it was supposed to be a joke then theres no point arguing over it.

Random douchebag named TACOBELLALLCAPS with like 3 posts makes a very unintellient thread..
Do you
a) Assume they are joking with their lack of intellect, and just have a very poor sense of humor.
b) Assume they are like the other fload or morons who have been pouring into this forum lately.
c) Just ignore the comment entirely and neglect the threads existence.
had to put a more correct c) than b) seeing as c is always the correct answer on any multiple choice question

Its a joke thread, if you actually read my last post, because anyone who
actually thought Jagex was causing slavery from this would be on drugs. I of course, don't think this. Now i will just leave this alone and let little girls who can't stand to lose anything have their "victory".
I got 98 fm once legit. then a douche bag friend of mine decided to quit rs and take me with him and got the account (which was a pure) 11 defence. The sight of the defence was so ugly to me i couldn't stand to get the last 200k exp and now it sits like that.
